494.80 Sat 01 Apr 2023 04:13:37 CEST
50 - remove long obsolete "paths must be absolute" text in aio_open/stat
51 descriptions.
52 - another workaround for the low-quality musl libc.
53 - test for umount seperately, as it is more portable.
54 - some low-quality posix attempts (openbsd, osx) declare the availability
55 of fexecve but then don't even bother to implemnent a stub.
56
574.79 Sun 25 Sep 2022 18:25:53 CEST
58 - the autoconf result of the mount check was not used, so it failed to
59 compile on most systems (reported by crackoff@tutanota.com).
60 - work around fedora not having a working C compiler setup by design
61 (reported by Paul Howarth).
62
634.78 Tue 06 Sep 2022 12:54:43 CEST
64 - add IO::AIO::mount and IO::AIO::umount.
65 - add a bunch of symbols from sys/mount.h.
66
674.77 Mon 05 Sep 2022 02:03:38 CEST
68 - add MFD_HUGETLB_2MB and MFD_HUGETLB_1GB constants.
69 - add fexecve.
70 - add lots of missing functions to @EXPORT_OK.
71
724.76 Tue Jul 27 20:45:01 CEST 2021
73 - add autoconf test for siginfo_t, which is, of course, not
74 available on windows (reported by Peter Petky).
75 - disable syscalls on solaris, as perl seems to provide an
76 incompatible syscall prototype that clashes with sys/syscall.h.
77 - add MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, MAP_SYNC and
78 MAP_UNINITIALIZED.
79
804.75 Wed Dec 30 08:44:55 CET 2020
81 - removed leftover debug output from treescan.
82 - added (but not documented) waitid-P_*, FSPICK_*, FSOPEN_*,
83 FSCONFIG_*, MOUNT_ATTR_* constants.
84
854.74 Tue Dec 29 16:19:28 CET 2020
86 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
87 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
88 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
89 arguments could cause it to crash.
90 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
91 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
92
934.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
94 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
95 (reported by B Fraser).
96 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
97 64 bit values.
98 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
99 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
100 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
101 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
102 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
103
1044.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
105 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
106 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
107 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
108 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
109 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
110 as noinline.
111 - documentation fixes and updates.
112 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
113
1144.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
115 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
116 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
117
1184.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
119 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
120 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
121 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
122 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
123 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
124 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
125 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
126 were detected by autoconf.
127
1284.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
129 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
130 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
131 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
132 for birthtimes).
133 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
134 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
135 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
136 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
137 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
138 - minor doc improvements.
139 - minor configure cleanups.
140 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
141 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
142
1434.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
144 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
145 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
146 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
147 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
148
1494.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
150 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
151 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
152
1534.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
154 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
155
1564.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
157 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
158 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
159 environment, not the standard system environment.
160 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
161 stat functions.
162 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
163 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
164
1654.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
166 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
167 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
168 and MREMAP_FIXED.
169 - add O_ACCMODE.
170 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
171
1724.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
173 - new aio_slurp request.
174 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
175 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
176 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
177 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
178 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
179 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
180 (see aio_ioctl docs).
181 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
182 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
183 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
184 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
185 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
186 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
187 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
188 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
189 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
190 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
191 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
192 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
193 and better eventfd detection.
194
1954.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
196 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
197 compile errors on various platforms.
198 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
199 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
200 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
201 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
202 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
203 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
204
2054.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
206 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
207 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
208 constants.
209 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
210 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
211 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
212 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
213 - update libecb.
214 - added stability canary support.
215 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
216
2174.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
218 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
219 user-visible changes.
220 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
221
2224.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
223 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
224
2254.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
226 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
227 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
228 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
229 compatibility - I will never understand.
230
2314.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
232 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
233 the stack after req_submit.
234 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
235 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
236 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
237 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
238 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
239 - (libecb) insignificant update.
240
2414.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
242 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
243 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
244 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
245
2464.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
247 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
248
2494.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
250 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
251 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
252 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
253 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
254 as per unix spec.
255
2564.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
257 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
258 it to malfunction for paths.
259 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
260 extents.
261 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
262 trash fiemap input arguments.
263 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
264 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
265 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
266 truncates segment count if a file.
267 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
268 to quick overview.
269 - splice can corrupt data.
270 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
271 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
272 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
273 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
274
2754.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
276 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
277 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
278 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
279 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
280 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
281 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
282
2834.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
284 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
285 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
286 - new request aio_seek.
287 - new request aio_fiemap.
288 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
289
2904.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
291 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
292 instead of -1.
293 - port to c89.
294
2954.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
296 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
297
2984.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
299 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
300 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
301 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
302 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
303 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
304 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
305 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
306 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
307 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
308 in aio_scandir and treescan.
309 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
310 - added --progress switch to treescan.
311
3124.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
313 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
314 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
315 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
316 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
317 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
318 a timeout occured at the same time.
319 - (libeio) added realpath.
320 - (libeio) added fallocate.
321 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
322 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
323 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
324
3253.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
326 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
327
3283.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
329 - ecb.h was missing.
330
3313.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
332 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
333 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
334 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
335 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
336 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
337 transferred...)
338 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
339 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
340 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
341 pthread and fork in perl.
342 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
343 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
344 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
345 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
346
3473.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
348 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
349 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
350 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
351 flags.
352

354 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
355 - support a max_idle value of 0.
356 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
357
3583.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
359 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
360 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
361 - new treescan option: --grep.
362 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
363
3643.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
365 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
366 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
367 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
368 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
369 funcitonality. ugh.
370
3713.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
372 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
373 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
374 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
375 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
376 (openbsd 4.8).
377 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
378 had string-data.
379 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
380 them.
381 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
382 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
383 user-errors better.
384 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
385
3863.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
387 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
388 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
389 Rasmus Andersson).
390 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
391 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
392 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
393 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
394 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
395
3963.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
11 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by 397 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
12 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual 398 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
13 kernel sources. 399 kernel sources.
400 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
14 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support. 401 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
